My surgery date is January 8, 2014! It's been a long process of 11 months of trying to get approved. Anybody else having the surgery in January? I am terrified of the two weeks of a liquid diet before surgery. I can't get my mind around not eating anything but liquids after surgery too for awhile. If I do that now, I get very sick!

My surgery will take place the last week in January. I'm really struggling with trying not to gain weight between now and then with the holidays approaching it's going to be tough. My mind is starting to think "food funerals" already.

Mine should be toward the middle or end of January. I am scare about the pre op diet, and I've been having the "food funerals" eating everything in site twice...at the beginning it seemed so far away but January is just around the corner and hopefully we will all be ready for the summer with a couple of pounds less. Good Luck to all.

Yeah I went to outback and had their cheese fries one last time. I'm just working out everyday so I don't gain weight.

The lap band most definitely did NOT work for me. I lost 20 lbs over 2 years and it was because my food got caught in my esophagus because the band was incorrectly placed.

omg outback cheese fries with their ranch dressing. I'm literally salivating right now. My surgery is tomorrow and I've been on liquids since Thursday. I wish I would've thought to go to Outback last week!

Ps, my band worked great for 3+ years and then it slipped and I gained 80 of my 124 lbs back. I know a lot of people that have had the band but only a couple that haven't had an issue.... Yet. It should be taken off the market

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
